Footnotes

BuShips sent all recipients of 32/4Ax on 7/19/44 an amended version of drawing 32/4Ax that changed the portside forward panel between the first superstructure deck and the second from 5-L to black.

San Pedro Shipyard was sent 32/18L for AGP-3 on 5/5/44, but AGP-3 responded in a letter to BuShips on 5/9/44 that the drawing was not suitable because it used the profile of an AGP modified from an LST. BuShips sent a speedletter to San Pedro to not use the drawing and paint Measure 21 until a suitable plan could be developed. Finally BuShips sent AGP-3 drawing 31/11P on 7/8/44.

A photo exists showing AS-12 in a pattern similar to 8Ax or 2F, but no drawing or document has been yet found to confirm.

A 5/8/44 memo from AS-15 to BuShips identified AS-15 as being painted in 32/5AS and included photos and a starboard side drawing created by Lt. Cmdr. Dayton R. E. Brown on 4/12/44. Brown was a camouflage officer attached to ComServPac. The photos seem to show the pattern mirrored on the port side. No other copy of this drawing has yet been found.

AS-19 was sent 32/4Ax on 3/27/44, but was photographed in 32/5AS at Midway in May 1944.

IX-110 was sent 32/7Ax on 4/24/44, but appeared on 5/6/44 in 31/9Ax.
